    Was the Wespe based on Panzer II chassis? If so, the Panzer II track should be a perfect representation.

      Do you know of a source for Panzer II tracks? Either metal or plastic?
      The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

        I do not have the Panzer II. But Google "1/16 scale Panzer II tracks" has quite a few suggestions.

        This one is for static model only.

        Not sure if these tracks work for RC model tanks.

          Those are for the Luchs, a completely different system with interleaved road wheels. I thought you had a link to the Panzer II & Marder II r/c 3DP tanks.

            So Google is not smart enough for RC tank hobby.

            Is this one on ebay the correct model? I am trying to learn.

              That's it. The Marder II is built on the Panzer II C type suspension. An r/c version of the Panzer II and Marder II is only available as 3DP, on the internet, for right now. The Marder III is built on the Czech 38(t) chassis, also only available in 3DP form. Because of the small body, our regular gearboxes don't fit, so none of these are likely to be mass produced. The most likely potential company would be Coolbank, but they haven't shared any inclination to do so.

                This is a photo the builder sent to me of the Panzer II C he's working on. You can see how shallow the front of the body is, only room for N10 motors or similar.
